Chapter 46 Clearing the Charge
Being strangled by a kite string?
The method of death sounded extremely cruel, but whether he was mentally prepared or not, Wang Guiren was so surprised that he almost slid off his chair.
"Wu Yue, how can you say such dirty things in front of the people of Wei?" the Queen Mother said calmly.
I had already said it all, and it was only then that I remembered that I couldn’t say it?
An Chengyue looked at Fu Yao helplessly.
I really thought that the Queen would be frightened and lose her etiquette in front of the palace like the noble Wang, but I didn't expect that she would be very cold and cold as she walked.
No wonder the Queen Mother always doubted whether Fu Yao was pretending.
She Ming Yue was dressed in elegant and luxurious clothes. She could not hide the wooden sword in the first place, so the layers of clothes she wore made her look even more arrogant.
When she didn't shut up, her face looked a bit childish, but it still carried a lot of dignity. Even the Queen Mother was stunned when she saw it.
With such a dignified appearance, who could tell that he was a fool?
At this moment, what is Fu Yao thinking about?
"Kite, string?" Fu Yao asked in a low voice.
No one explained for her, so Concubine Jing spoke up:
"The queen doesn't know. Although the string of the kite is thin, it can still kill people, and it is much more ferocious than those daggers. I heard that the dead palace maid had many signs of struggle on her body.
, he must have suffered a lot before he died."
Concubine Jing stared hard at Fu Yao's face, but her words were a bit playful, as if she wanted to see the fool Queen being frightened.
Fu Yao was not frightened, but opened her legs, looked at it for a moment, and then went to see the Queen Mother.
"The legs are there, there are traces." Fu Yao said to the Queen Mother.
What does that mean?
The Queen Mother didn't listen to Ming Hong, but her eyes lit up when she saw An Chengyue.
"Your Majesty, since someone used a kite string to kill people, and there were many marks on the body of the dead palace maid, it means that there should be many marks on the legs of the murderer. If you fly a kite in normal months, one of your legs will be cut by the string.
There are traces of it, but if someone uses a kite string to commit murder..."
An Chengyue didn't say what he said clearly, but everyone present knew that since there were so many traces on the victim's body, the murderer's legs and heart must also have many traces of being strung out by kite strings.
Pingyue looked at the silent Angui man, but he was actually so capable?
Could it be that the An nobleman also wants to compete for favor?
Concubine Jing's mind was full of thoughts and she said coldly:
"People in Angui are too naive. I don't know who brought it up in those few months. Everyone in the palace was flying kites in the east. I mean, if you have ever flown a kite, there are traces of cuts on the heart of the leg.
Does everyone want to kill the palace maid?"
When Wang Guiren heard this, she immediately became anxious. Could she have personally participated in the kite-tying thing? There were also many wounds in her legs.
The Queen Mother could scold Fu Yao for weird reasons, wouldn't she suspect her presence?
Wang Guiren quickly pulled An Chengyue and defended his background: "No, sister An, he also flew a kite, and there are traces of being strangled in the center of his legs, so how can we judge?"
An Chengyue grabbed Wang Guiren's leg and showed it to everyone, while saying: "The traces left by flying a kite in the moon are different from the traces left when killing someone with a kite string."
"Everyone can see that the mark on the heart of Wang Guiren's leg is very shallow. The difference between the rest of the marks and whether they were made by the bamboo used to tie the kite is very obvious. And there is only one mark. It only hurts the surface at most, but does not go deep."
That explanation made many people spread their legs to look at the traces inside.
There were also people present who wanted to seduce the emperor. Last month, they deliberately flew kites on the road that the emperor had to pass. At this moment, when he looked at the center of his legs, there was indeed a trace that could be traced.
"Well, there is indeed a mark on the heart of his leg."
"I have it too. Alas, we all have a trace. An Gui said, is that normal?"
The ladies in the Queen Mother's Palace were all talking about it, but the originally angry Queen Mother's face was expressionless at the moment, making it impossible to tell whether she was angry, happy, or disgusted.
What is the Empress Dowager An Chengyue thinking?
She continued: "As for the person who killed the palace maid, I'm afraid there is more than one mark on the leg, and Keke may have been strangled by the kite string, causing a wound. How about a thorough investigation to see if there is anyone around the palace lady with Mingyue's leg injury.
.”
An Chengyue said coldly, after clearing the suspicion, she went to see Fu Yao.
Sure enough, Fu Yao had a bit of admiration in her eyes.
That's right, she didn't mean that. I didn't expect Sister An to be so powerful. She actually said all that in just a few words. She is really too stupid. It would be great if she could speak clearly!
"Go check everyone around the palace maid."
After a while, a crying little palace maid was pressed in. As soon as she saw the queen mother, she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and did not dare to move.
"How did I kill the palace maid next to me?" the nun who pressed the person over said coldly.
The palace maid who was already crying cried louder, and she almost showed off to Gao Han: "The slave knew that he was wrong, the kite was not made by him. She took the slave's kite and went out, and she said that she saw the queen, and she would be here in a few months.
I asked you to work as a servant for the queen, which is a good job for a slave! So I killed him at the first thought..."
The palace maid burst into tears, and An Chengyue walked over with a cold face, opened her legs and took a look.
Sure enough, there were several dense grooves in the heart of the leg, and there were already some signs of healing around the wound.
"As expected." An Chengyue shook her head, "Queen Mother, if it seems that the little palace maid did it, I don't know if someone wanted to slander the Queen and deliberately spread it, saying that the Queen Mother did it.
.I very much request the Queen Mother to tell the whole palace about that matter so as not to damage the Queen Mother’s reputation.”
When the Queen Mother saw the numerous wounds in the palace maid's legs, she couldn't help but move the beads in her legs a little faster, and her mouth seemed to be opening and closing, reciting Amitabha.
The Queen Mother closed her eyes and looked like she was begging to be driven away: "Well, since this matter has nothing to do with the Queen, we can go back. This matter is too shocking, so there is no need to let everyone in the palace know."
Fu Yao, who was called over by Ping Hong for no reason, felt a little sad.
When she was suspected of being a murderer, the Queen Mother scolded her clearly in her mind. Now that the truth has become so popular, the Queen Mother is not even willing to tell the truth.
Fu Yao immediately stepped forward and knelt down in front of the Queen Mother. He raised his head to look at the Queen Mother with a firm look in his eyes: "Speak clearly, no."
An Chengyue immediately understood Fu Yao's intention, knelt down and said, "No, now the whole palace is talking about whether the Queen is the one who killed her, but the Queen clearly did not do such a thing!"
Seeing the queen and An Guiren both kneeling to the east, Wang Guiren also hurriedly knelt down as they were just having fun.
There were only four concubines in the palace, and three of them, Ru Ming, knelt down and begged the Queen Mother to tell the story.
If he didn't say it, the three of them were afraid that he would publicize the matter himself, and then the empress dowager's prestige would be reduced a bit.
